A former school and defunct orphanage in Dundee are both being investigated as part of the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry.
The inquiry is probing historic child abuse across Scotland. More than 60 residential and care establishments are being investigated.
The two Dundee institutions being investigated both closed down in the early 1980s: the Balgowan List D School and the Roseangle Orphanage (St Vincents).
The inquiry is collecting evidence from the victims of abuse. …
A number of organisations, including two survivors’ groups, the Scottish Government, Police Scotland and Quarriers have been granted “core participant” status in the inquiry.
Neither the Catholic Church of the Church of Scotland has so far applied for core participant status although the Catholic Church has said it may do so in due course.
